cey gathered together to hear tho leader Of the dsne
grated United Labor party his views Prstectisn
and Free Trade. lie gave them in manner which
seemed TO mysfy rather than TO enghten hi, hearers
They were not received with that earnest and ringing
applause which crested his sayings when talking tho
more thoroughly understood and csngenia theme Of the
taxation OF land values.
Professor David b. scott presided, and with
him on tho platform were tic Rev DR.. Ed
ward McGlynn. James Rcdpath W. T. Crsas
dale. John McMackin and tho Rev. @. p. Nc
earthly. Miss Agatha Muner and her Concerdia Chorus
sang patriotic hymns while the audience settling IT,
self for tao sereus work OF the msstng and then Pro-
lessor scstt stepped forward aud said he had been
requested TO spe TX for minutes preliminary to
the address Of Mr. George IL regard 10 the great sur
plus In the Treasury OF the United states he ssd that
they Of the AntPsverty Society would be glad to roal-
lie the condition OF having Overlooking Psc1stDsok& To
him tho recommendations OF the President exceed
ingly unsatisfactory. lie was uncertain what the
message meant, and thore VS. nothing worse
for labor than the atmosphere Of uncertainty II free
trade could not be shown give better wages and open
wider the door OF opportunity for the poor then 1t was
not for their benefit.
MUCH LIKE STUMP SPEECH.
Mr. George stood up. and after the prolonged sp
plause with which he was received had subsdsd. began
his address 1t rather q stump speech than serious
and argunenatve consideration OF the great question
about to be presented TO the American people for na
settlement Whenever he csuld raise a laugh against
he advocates OF either theory he did hesitate 10 de
without apparent reference its effect upon the dis
cussisn of the points ut ISSUE. Mr. George said sub

Mr. George dwvlt at considerable length upon the
statement complete free trade would be Of no
benefit TO tho working unless they had free access
land; for free trade he maintained carried -
its logical conclusion would lead 10 the abolition OF all
